Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrical connectors, and more particularly to modular connectors for connecting daughter printed wiring boards to mother printed wiring boards.
  • daughter printed wiring boards are commonly connected to mother PWBs by means of modular electrical connectors, typically comprising a receptacle and a header.
  • a daughter card electrically and mechanically connects to a receptacle, which in turn electrically and mechanically connects to a mother card (or backplane).
  • Modular electrical connectors of the type mentioned above are used, for example, to connect a large number of signal wires to a PWB. Consequently, a connector is provided with a number of columns of contact holes with contact pins disposed therein.
  • An exemplary connector is an 8 ⁇ 12 connector which has 12 columns of 8 contact holes with contact pins disposed therein.
  • electrical connectors are equipped with shielding to attempt to shield each signal from EMI from neighboring and nearby signals.
  • This shielding can be a conventional mechanical shield or an electrical shield in the form of a ground line.
  • the current state of shielding still leaves great risk for cross talk. It is, therefore, desirable to provide an electrical connector that has enhanced shielding capabilities, yet does not significantly reduce signal density.
  • Stripline configurations i.e., arrangements in which conductors in parallel in a dielectric are interposed between ground planes, are known in the art. A need exists for a way to use such configurations to reduce cross.
  • US 5,586,912 discloses a filtered electrical connector includes a housing, filter contacts, and a ground plane member.
  • the filter contacts include a contact member and, a tubular capacitor connected to the contact ember.
  • the capacitor is mounted over the contact member and sandwiched between a ledge of the contact member and an end of a crimping sleeve with conductive elastomeric washers compressed therebetween.
  • the ground plane member has receiving apertures to receive and make contact with the filter contacts and contact legs. A separate contact leg is provided for each receiving aperture. Each of the legs makes contact with the housing.
  • US 5,620,340 discloses a connector comprising a body of electrically insulating material having contact holes each provided with an electrical conductive contact element and arranged in at least two columns and at least two rows. Each column has a longitudinal direction. Each contact element comprises a set of contact springs arranged for contacting a contact pin of a mating connector. Shielding elements of electrically conducive plate material being disposed in the body are provided. Each shielding element is shaped and arranged so that neighboring contact elements are always entirely shielded from each other by parts of the shielding elements. The shielding elements are square wave shaped and are each arranged within one column in such a way that an open portion of each of the square wave shaped shielding elements is not adjacent to an open portion of a neighboring square wave shaped shielding element.
  • a header for interconnecting electrical components comprises at least one column of conductors interposed between ground planes, wherein the column of conductors comprises at least a first, second and third conductor.
  • the first conductor is a ground line
  • the second and third conductors are signal lines
  • the first conductor is electrically connected to one of the ground planes, wherein the second conductor is positioned in the column in interposed relation between said first and third conductor.
  • the header for interconnecting electrical components comprises a plurality of rows and columns of signal lines, wherein at least one column comprises at least one ground line situated between two signal lines so that the ground line is coplanar with the signal lines.
  • a ground plane for providing at least one ground line throughout a header for interconnecting electrical components also is provided.
  • the ground plane comprises at least one substantially vertically-oriented metal shield section for separating signal lines of adjacent columns and at least one substantially horizontally-oriented ground shield, through which a ground line that carries a ground current passes.
  • a header for connecting a receptacle to a mother printed wiring board (PWB) and having an improved shielding design is provided.
  • a top view of a preferred embodiment of a header of the present invention is shown in Figure 1 .
  • This preferred header is an 8 ⁇ 12 header, having twelve columns of eight contact holes, in which are disposed contact pins 10, each of which can carry a signal.
  • the terminology 8 ⁇ 12 is used even though the drawings show 9 rows of contacts since only 8 rows of contacts on the header mate with contacts on the receptacle while one row of contacts on the header is grounded to a metallic shield on the receptacle.
  • the 8 rows may be any number of rows of preferably at least 5 rows.
  • the 12 columns may alternatively be any number of columns which is a multiple of 3.
  • FIG. 2 A schematic of a conventional column of signal lines from an 8 ⁇ 12 header is shown in Figure 2 .
  • the conventional column of Figure 2 has signal lines 14, and a vertically-oriented shield 16 separating the columns of signals from each other. This conventional design provides limited protection against cross talk between signal connections.
  • FIG. 3 A schematic of a column of signal lines of the present invention is shown in Figure 3 .
  • ground line 12 there are two signal lines generally A and B (generally at 14), followed by a ground line C, two more signal lines D and E, followed by a ground line F, and then two more signal lines G and H.
  • substantially vertically-oriented metal shields 22 adjacent the signal lines 14 and substantially horizontally-oriented metal shields 28 surrounding the ground lines 12, C and F.
  • This new design provides enhanced protection against cross talk between signal connections.
  • these differential pairs of signal lines 14 are used with high speed signals and are offset 180 degrees. As is known in the art, when differential pair signals are offset by 180 degrees, noise in one signal tends to be cancelled by the noise in the other signal.
  • a further explanation of differential pairs is found at pages 267-268 and 319-320 of "High-Speed Digital Design," by Howard W. Johnson et al. (Prentice Hall, 1993 ), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
  • parallel shield sections 22 and 42 are positioned to opposed sides of the ground and signal line conductors.
  • a tab 21 is also used to contact the shield 22 to ground spring 40 which is also in contact with shield section 42.
  • the ground shield sections 22 and 42 will affect the electromagnetic field around each signal line 14 so as to reduce cross talk between adjacent signal lines 14.
  • the ground lines as at lines 12, C and F are electrically connected to the shield 22 which will have the effect of further affecting the electromagnetic fields surrounding the signal lines 14 so as to still further enhance cross talk reduction.
  • the tab 21 further enhances grounding and cross talk reduction by allowing ground current from shield section 22 to be further distributed to ground spring 40 and thus other shield sections such as shield section 42.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional side view of the header of Figure 1 .
  • a column comprised of a ground line 12, which mates with a grounding shield (not shown) on the receptacle, signal lines A, B, D, E, G and H (generally at 14), and ground lines C and F, which mate with contacts on the receptacle.
  • Figure 4 also shows the metal shield 20, which comprises shields sections 22 situated between the columns of signal contact pins 10 at the location of the signal lines 14. Slots 24 also are present between the metal shield sections 22 where the ground lines 12, C and F are located.
  • Figure 4 also shows the plastic housing 30, comprising the three walls 32, 34 and 36.
  • Figure 5 shows an inverted rear view of the header of Figure 1 .
  • the metal shield 20 of the present invention referred to as a ground plane 20, is shown in Figures 6 and 7 in the two side isometric views.
  • Figures 6 and 7 depict the metal shield sections 22, the slots 24 between the shield sections 22, and ground shields 28, through which the signal contact pins 10 (or signal lines 10) that carry the ground lines 12, C and F pass.
  • a ground plane 20 is one member.
  • the ground plane 20 alternatively may be described as a metal shield plate having slots 24 and ground shields 28 perpendicularly attached to the plate just above the location of the slots 24.
  • the metal shield sections 22 are substantially rectangularly-shaped and are substantially vertically-oriented.
  • the ground shields 28 are substantially rectangularly-shaped and are substantially horizontally-oriented. Preferably, the ground shields 28 are oriented at approximately 90 degrees to the metal shield sections 22.
  • Each ground shield 28 has four rectangularly-shaped corner tabs 29 that are bent (or curved) upward so that the ground planes 20 can be situated around the signal contact pins 10 without causing damage to the pins 10.
  • the ground shields 28 attach to the pins 10.
  • the header of the present invention is also equipped with springs 40 which are situated on housing wall 32, as depicted in Figures 1 , 4 and 5 .
  • These springs 40 have a mechanical function and a grounding function.
  • the springs 40 mechanically receive the connecting receptacle, to which the daughter card connects.
  • the springs 40 also provide an electrical link to the grounding signals 12 of each ground plane 20 by abutting each ground plane 20.
  • each ground plane 20 has a connecting tab 21 which, by way of each tab's distal end 41, electrically connects each ground plane 20 to the series of springs 40.
  • this 8 ⁇ 12 header preferably has 6 springs, as shown in Figures 1 and 5 .
  • the header design of the present invention reduces cross talk between signal lines 14 by providing a 2:1 signal line 14 to ground line 12, C and F ratio.
  • the header of the present invention also has a conventional footprint that allows it to be used as a header for conventional connectors.
  • the slotted design of the ground shields also allows for more plastic to be present than otherwise be present without the slots 24, as depicted in Figure 1 . This strengthens the existing electrical insulation provided by the plastic, thereby further reducing the risk of cross talk.
  • the header of the present invention by making use of ground planes, allows for the use of fewer ground connections to the printed circuit board. Because fewer pins need to be used for grounding, more pins can be used as signal pins, thereby allowing for more signal density.
